nc.com here in The Patriot Suite we have some old friends and some new friends
let's start with the new ones this is the fuel plus line so these are
rechargeable battery Banks so you've got this guy right here is actually kind of
unique can I get someone to toss me an iPhone 5 because what this has is it has
a lightning bolt connector that we can go ahead and we can plug right into an
iPhone 5 so that you don't have to really worry about there we go let's go
ahead and turn that on it's charging instantly so you don't really have to worry about sort of any cables or
anything that you have to carry around with it this one's not quite finished so
we're not really sure exactly what the finished one will look like it's a 1500
milliamp product though and then the main fuel pluses so these are
rechargeable batteries this one is 2200 and 3,000 milliamp hours so optimize for
your smartphone that's going to charge pretty much any smartphone from 0 to
completely full it's got an input charger and what's cool about the fuel
plus is that it acts as a pass through so you can actually have the phone
plugged into the one end and the fuel plus plugged into a PC or a wall outlet
and the phone will charge through it without charging the battery itself
because remember more charge and discharge Cycles is bad for your battery
there's a battery life indicator on the side that uses nice bright blue LEDs and
there are a number of different capacities so in 526,000 milliamp you've
got this larger ID it's got a nice red backing to it this one's got okay your
input Port we were expecting that and on the other side whoa we weren't expecting
that that's a 1 amp USB output and a 2 and a half amp USB output I'm going to
repeat that that's a 2 and a half amp USB output so you're going to be able to
charge up your devices faster on the fuel plus than you will on any other
portable battery pack on the market today at least that I'm aware of that's
my little asterisk cuz who knows what exists and sort of like us Beck or
something like that uh this is a 7800 milliamp and 9,000 milliamp model that
I'll do my trademark smartphone comparison I no longer do an iPhone
comparison because I don't think anyone uses them anymore this is an HTC1 this
is how big it is this is how thin it is so it's the kind of thing that maybe you
wouldn't keep in your pocket with your phone but you might keep it in your backpack as you're out and about at a
trade show say for example over here we've got the Patriot Arrow which you've
probably seen our content on just as a reminder battery powered external hard
Drive Wireless you can get it in 500 or 1 tby capacities it works with iOS
Android Kindle Fire it lasts for about 5 hours it can stream to five devices
simultaneously and you can see they've got it working on what actually confused
me I was like is that a laptop no it's an iPad so there you go they're showing
off the iOS version right here moving right along we've got of course with
Intel's fourth generation core series processor launch code name Haswell we
have compatible memory from Patriot so this is their 16 gig 2400 me gz memory
remember guys Haswell has an updated memory controller that makes it much
more Cooperative with high frequency memory not only uh not only do they have
a 2400 MHz Viper 3 right now but they're going to be following it up with a 2666
Viper 3 and those should run on pretty much any fourth generation core series
processor without any tweaks but if you checked out our Haswell overclocking
guide you'll know this already as you start to overclock the CPU you should
adjust your expectations in terms of what you can achieve for memory frequency so it's a matter of finding
that right balance between CPU frequency and memory frequency this has been our
